Color a Rainbow

Had such a fun time playing with this new image from Ann Corbiere Scott Designs. This one is named after Ann! “Ann Marie” Here is a peek at all the colors I used then I will share a little of the process.

First I used the full rainbow of colors on the paint pans. I used one color in each, let them dry then added a second layer with just scribbles to add a little texture, I finished them with a little Colorless Blender to push the texture a little more.

I then used each of the colors to splatter ink over each of the pans. Do you remember how you flicked paint with a paint brush or tooth brush on a painting? I did the same thing, I flicked the brush end of my Copic against a folded piece of cardstock toward the art work. I also let the marker tip bump against the paper a few times.

I then used the grays to color the brush handle and the crimped metal. I also used the light grays to create the cast shadows around the watercolor pans and paint brush. The earth tones were used on the bristles.

I love a good play day with my markers and flicking ink all over certainly fit the bill! I built the “paint tray” up with stacked cardstock and put the whole thing on a slimline card base.

Thanks so much for stopping in to my little creative world. I am hoping everyone is staying healthy and happy and finding time to recharge these days!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
